EA showed off some Battlefront II footage at today, and it looks awesome. PC players will have to go through Origin for the new game. According to EA boss Andrew Wilson, the developers considered all "constructive" criticism players had for the first game. The first title simply didn't have a wealth of weaponry or locations, and while the actual mechanics of the online competitive modes were extremely solid, the game lacked an real feeling of progression and accomplishment. "Our live service is built around the philosophy of keeping our fans playing together, with seasons that will add meaningful content and in game events on a regular basis". The match will utilize a prequel-era map and feature 40 of the biggest YouTube influencers in the world, including StoneMountain64.

However, a safer bet is that fans get an even better glimpse at the companies two new Star Wars games, likely coming to PS4, Xbox One and Xbox Scorpio in 2018. Gavankar, who plays the single-player campaign's main character Iden Versio, was also joined by Finn himself - actor John Boyega - who pre-recorded his portion of the presentation from London.

Not only has EA updated its website to reveal playable N-1 Starfighters and four additional heroes, the videogame developer has also released a teaser photo of one of Battlefront II's maps.
